Report from treadmill so excuse any spelling errors .
Day 8 in Vegas and finally cashed in my mystery millions payout for $1,783, slightly more than I expected .
But into the main event of plo8 1500 WSOP
Table not bad at all to start with , 5 handed but other spots soon filled and 2 of the original 5 for moved too.
Started at 25k and chipped up nicely to 35k before this hand shortly before first break . Can’t recall exact blinds ( prob will as I write this ) but Lebanon guy made it 800? in cut off and I re potted from the button with AA2x 1 suit .
He flat and flop is all hearts Q102. He only has 13k behind and I don’t have hearts . I cont bet 2000 and he check raises to 7000 and I fold . I seem to recall pot was roughly 6500 before the flop .
27k at first break
Table became tougher after that with late and re entries replacing bust outs with only 1/2 weak spots who weren’t exactly donating chips either.
I got 3/4 of a 3 way pot to take me to 53k trying to gamble with a 20k stack with A1023 double suited but weak player big stack that had flatted a reraise came along too , so I as actually allin for my tournament life.
Was up against akj7 short stack and a2qq . Flop was 3 high clubs ( my nut suit ) but runner runner low came .
Lost a few pots to end up with 32k next break .
Held that stack for ages until just before dinner break .
AKQ3 1 suit . 600/1.2/1.2 . Weak stack only playing 25k flats the button and I pot from bb to 4800. Pot of 12k on a flop of A102 I’m
Going nowhere and hope to take it down there . This guy had flat called loads and folded plenty of flops . He tank shoved after my 10k bet and was obv worried I had aces ( wasn’t acting ) . I instant call and he shows A1057 . No problem as it runs out 2 and Q for a scoop .
72k at dinner break after that , big stack at our table but our table very short now as everyone playing solid .
Late reg closed at dinner . 1277 entrants. 194 paid . And if survive we play 6 more levels and extra if needed to make the money .
I leaked chips a fair bit with lack of spots to be honest to create anything without being silly .
Then this one at 1.5k/2.5k/2.5k blinds
I raise to 6k early position with AKK9 nut diamonds .
Button flats but bb repots it , I quickly repot it back and have him covered by 5k .
It’s a pot to take me to 70k with average stack now at 80k vs AQ35 and he only has diamonds.
Unfortunately he hits a wheel on the turn for a no sweat river .
Left with 5k but know anything can happen especially in split games so take it well. Id already had a couple of corona at this point which helped
Next hand or hand after I get it in 3 way with aq104 . The 2 pros bet flop and turn vs each other so on a board of K98Qx it didn’t look good until it went check check and my queen was good - back to 21k.
Next key hand after folding the 5k in bb+ante spot .
Sb playing 16k , big stack flats early , I top up with
and 3 of us see a flop of
(pot 10k)
Looked like a good spot to lead given my stack . 3k is the bet and both quickly fold .
4th break I’m down to 19k and coming back to blinds of 2/3/3 so I need to gamble quick before I blind out too much .
Short stack 20k pots it utg and I look down at KKj2 1 suit . They all go in and another player comes in too.
So 3 way pot to go to 65k with average roughly 100k.
I’m up against A2QQ 2 suits and AJ97 1 suit ..
Board runs out a58Q6 and I’m out - clock was broke at that point but I would have been around 300th in the end , not to be .
Played cash afterwards for couple hrs . Big O list too long so ended up on 1/2/5 plo .
Sat with minimum 100 as wanted some gambles . Got some nice pots early to peak at 650 before dropping back to 300.
Got 3/4 of a big bomb pot to take me back to close to 600. Ended up cashing out for 500 so happy with a 400 profit obviously .
Table was crazy , proper crazy . Really should play more of this game but gotta fight the big O addiction .
Probably 1500 PLO WSOP in 3.5 hours . Sorry for lack of in running updates but still exhausted from all these deep runs . Yesterday’s was 10 hours including breaks . 55 mins to write this while walking at 3.3 mph .
Oh forgot to mention I got proper goosebumps when they played god save the king at the end of one of the early breaks . Was nice feel good moment , not sure who won bracelet , someone ellis maybe ? I’m barely following any updates or vlogs or anything while I’m out here as so little downtime .
